YOU’RE INVITED!
Come experience your own ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’ adventure! Feel the magic and beauty of this Italian countryside while connecting with other like-minded souls that will leave you feeling refreshed, positive, and ready to embrace your life with confidence and courage.
Going on the Soul Adventure Retreat was life changing. The best part about it was that I went into it with the highest of expectations and I walked away getting more from it than I ever could have imagined. When you spend several days unravelling the parts of yourself you never fully understood and sharing those revelations with like minded women, you walk away empowered, enlivened and reborn. If even a part of this experience speaks to you, then you owe it to yourself to attend one of these retreats. Then buckle up, and be prepared to experience your life in a way you never have before.

The Accommodations
We will have our own picturesque 9-bedroom villa just outside of Lucca, Italy to call home for a week! You will be swept away in the splendor of this peaceful property, surrounded by breathtaking hillside vistas, and twinkling city night lights. This charming Tuscan farmhouse invites a warm and joyful experience allowing you to fully connect with yourself as you breathe in the fresh Tuscan air. You can choose to lay back and enjoy the infinite scenery from the pool or relax in the hot tub after returning from a day full of soulful adventure! Long wooden picnic tables trellised with grape vines allow for alfresco seating in the garden, or laughing and enjoying some local wine with your new found friends.The outdoor wood-burning oven is perfect for traditional pizza night, but you can also expect to indulge in all of the freshest and mouthwatering cuisine Italy has to offer… local vegetables, cheeses, home made crusty breads, paired with local olive oil, honey, and wines. The interior of the home has been lovingly designed and maintained by its owners to allow for all of your usual comforts while providing the cozy experience of a traditional family villa. The house is spacious enough for you to find some quiet time alone, yet friendly enough for us all to enjoy family style meals at the long chestnut wood dining table.
The Adventures
Make sure to pack your walking shoes because we’re going to be exploring some of the most beautiful and iconic sites of Tuscany! We will be adventuring to Florence where you will have the opportunity to decide if you want to spend your time checking out museums, shopping, eating, or all of the above! It’s up to you if you want to spend your time with the group or venture off for some alone time. You choose what your soul desires! We will also be taking a trip to Cinque Terre where you will get to experience the various centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. Expect to see some of the most breathtaking views of your life! And an Italian adventure isn’t complete without a leisurely bike ride around the wall of Lucca with gelato stops along the way!
**Bonus adventure!**
If you choose to extend your trip for one more day, join the group as we head to a 5-star spa for one night where we will enjoy one more day of pure relaxation at the thermal spas!
The Coaching
The beautiful part of this getaway is having the opportunity to explore your life and what you really want on a deeper level. The coaching during this retreat is an integral aspect of the entire experience. Life Fulfillment Coach Sharon Stokes will be guiding you through her Life Map program during group coaching sessions over the course of the week. During this time we will have open discussions, which will allow you to uncover certain roadblocks you’re currently facing and how to work through them.
As an additional support, Wellness Lifestyle Coach Sarah McKeon will be keeping the kitchen stocked with healthy and hearty cuisine, using all the freshest ingredients. She will also be leading morning movement, meditation, and positive mindset journaling. These wellness activities will keep your energy flowing and your body feeling its best! They are also designed to help you maintain uplifting rhythms in your daily life once you return back home.
Before the retreat even starts, and once the retreat finishes, you will also have one on one coaching time scheduled with both retreat leaders so they can give you the exact support you need with whatever you’re facing in your life.
Going on the Soul Adventure Retreat was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I had an opportunity to marvel at the beauty of Costa Rica, connect with my true self, and build long-lasting bonds with the other women. The retreat has propelled me in the best direction possible. With the help of the coaches, I’ve gained a high level of clarity and I’ve learned how to truly tap into the power of trusting my own intuition. This retreat has helped me to get my spark back and it now serves me as a source of joy and excitement towards life. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone who is looking to gain more clarity in their life.

Check out the 2017 Soul Adventure Retreat in Costa Rica!
The Soul Adventure Retreat was an excellent balance of exercise, group work, one on one life coaching sessions, adventures, social time and alone time. It was such a positive experience. The group sessions with Sharon were very helpful. She walked us through her life map process. I was able to see parallels of things I struggle with now and where it may have generated from during my childhood. I found that seeing these patterns and being aware of them helped me to come up with some solutions and ways to change the patterns I had acquired. I was noticing the backseat drivers in my life and how I was letting them have control over me and the decisions I made. I realized I had been ignoring my inner GPS in order to please other people, rather than following my own life path. Being in a group atmosphere with girls you could trust and who were on their own personal journeys was amazing. We could encourage and support each other, bounce ideas off each other and have that continued support once we got home.
